The Toronto Maple Leafs head to Detroit for game three of this road trip, because putting Detroit after the Dallas Stars makes total sense, instead of before or after Chicago or as the last stop. But sure, right in the middle, why not.
The Detroit Red Wings of the “25 year playoff streak” are dead. We’re back to the 1980’s Dead Things era. The team is winless so far into this season, their highest cap hit is Dylan Larkin who’s pretty good, and their second highest cap is Henrik Zetterberg (until he’s traded to the Coyotes as cap filler).
